Hi💙

Once I get Forza Horizon 5, I'll use the Ferrari F40 or Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

[@johnstk0321]

b class?

[@eggbug2244]

I know this isn’t an unpopular opinion, but O hate how cars like the Bone Shaker are meta. In a game about car customization and car culture, it really takes away from the realism and the overall experience.

[@zoltangt07]

Big tires = big meta

[@FalcoINC]

I completely agree. I get it's more of an arcade racer but having those ridiculous cars like the bone and the freaking transit vans/SUVs that cream actual sport/super cars in their respective class in road races is a bit stupid. But let's face it, it's like they developed this game for the 12 year old Fortnite crowd. Kind of a let down for people like me that are into actual clean driving/racing and not just smashing into everything and kids that seem to not have a functional brake button going into every single turn 🙄

[@djinnxx7050]

@@FalcoINC IIRC the supervan has actually beaten supercars in real life. Or shall we say, high end sorts cars, like Porsches. It does have like 500bhp though, so you expect it to be quicker than high end sports cars that generally have 400bhp at the most. Also, in Forza, a car weighing 1200kg that has 300bhp, will get trounced by a car that has 400bhp weighing like 1800kg. Shit happens.

[@adrianlamattina4466]

Trust me. The only people who use meta like the Bone shaker and 05 Ford GT have ego issues and think they're better than everyone else

[@adrianlamattina4466]

[@zakstratford744]

A class meta: literally anything that can fit the 3.2 I6 engine

[@djinnxx7050]

It is a real nice engine, gives 400bhp with just a turbo upgrade. And it's a fairly low PI cost. Slap on some semi-slicks, and you're basically laughing all the way to the finish line in most races.

[@xboxbenny]

I use that engine in my offroad Buick Regal GNXs for A/B class, it freaking slaps

[@Valdarious]

I was big into using what worked well in Horizon 4 but for some reason I am doing things differently in 5. I am mostly using only the original engine that comes in most cars and in a lot of cases I am still using RWD if the car originally came with it. There is a couple that I am saying hell with it and do what ever it takes but for the most part I am trying not too. Not sure how competitive that will be but I am getting a different feel with 5. Its still early yet and with all the new tire compounds and transmission choices it is changing the game a bit I feel. Stuff like differentials I still feel is trivial and all it does is change the settings and not changing any other aspect for those that dont know how or want to finely tune a car, just pick the correct name type of thing. Great videos as always.

[@thomas6814]

Im upgrading a buncha low a class or brlow classic cars to s1/s2

[@xboxbenny]

This is how you learn to tune the best. I did this in H4 and then eventually applied my skills to engine swaps/OP builds and I'm crushing it

[@syferofsin7530]

Some C and B class would be nice as well. And off-road/rally options. There's alot missing as of now, so many options out there👍🏻

[@xboxbenny]

Use these tunes if you want to win/be competitive online. All made by creator Assault Buick. I know I'm not a famous tuner, but trust me. These have all been torture tested and upgraded to damn-near perfection. B class cross country: RAM Power Wagon 2500 called "I USE THIS" B class mixed: Buick Regal GNX called "Fixed downforce" A class cross country: MB X class called "Ranas #2" A class mixed: Buick Regal GNX called "R Scramble 1:12" These cars are all rivals tuned and have gotten very high on the leaderboards (top 2 to top 50 worldwide)

The bone shakers acceleration makes no sense. My car is lighter, has more power and is more aerodynamic, yet the bone shaker leaves me for dead on the straights.

[@bad001bd]

When you say you need smooth steering inputs for these cars to work, does tapping the stick to turn work? It still provides a smooth line, but the front wheels go from full lock to almost no lock throughout the turn.

[@Johnson_Racing]

to a certain amount this is enough. However, some cars really require to turn with less than 100%
